A lot of people already use adblocker plugins within their desktop browsers, but what if you are using your (smart) phone, tablet, watch or any other (wlan) gadget!? Getting rid of annoying ads, trackers and other abuse sites (like facebook) is simple: block them with your router. When the DNS server on your router receives DNS requests, you will sort out queries that ask for the resource records of ad servers and return a simple 'NXDOMAIN'. This is nothing but **N**on-e**X**istent Internet or Intranet domain name, if domain name is unable to resolved using the DNS server, a condition called the 'NXDOMAIN' occurred.

-## Prerequisites
+## Installation & Usage
+### Prerequisites
* [OpenWrt](https://openwrt.org), tested with the stable release series (19.07) and with the latest snapshot
-* a usual setup with an enabled DNS backend at minimum - dump AP modes without a working DNS backend are _not_ supported
-* a download utility:
- * to support all blocklist sources a full version (with ssl support) of `wget`, `uclient-fetch` with one of the `libustream-*` ssl libraries, `aria2c` or `curl` is required
- * for limited devices with real memory constraints, adblock provides also a `http only` option and supports `wget-nossl` and `uclient-fetch` (without `libustream-ssl`) as well
- * for more configuration options see examples below
-* E-Mail notification (optional): for E-Mail notification support you need the additional `msmtp` package
-* DNS Query Report (optional): for this detailed report you need the additional package `tcpdump` or `tcpdump-mini`
+* A usual setup with an enabled DNS backend at minimum - dump AP modes without a working DNS backend are _not_ supported
+* A download utility:
+ * To support all blocklist sources and in order to run the default configuration of `adblock`, a full version (with SSL support) of `wget`, `uclient-fetch` with one of the `libustream-*` SSL libraries, `aria2c` or `curl` is required
+ * The package used by default is probably `uclient-fetch` so in order to make `adblock` work with its default configuration it is needed to install one of the `libustream-*` SSL libraries. Example: `opkg install libustream-openssl`
+ * For limited devices with real memory constraints, adblock provides also a `http only` option and supports `wget-nossl` and `uclient-fetch` (without `libustream-ssl`) as well
+ * For more configuration options see examples below
+* Email notification (optional): For email notification support you need the additional `msmtp` package
+* DNS Query Report (optional): For this detailed report you need the additional package `tcpdump` or `tcpdump-mini`
-## Installation & Usage
-* install `adblock` (`opkg install adblock`)
-* at minimum configure the appropriate DNS backend (`dnsmasq` by default), the download utility and enable the adblock service in `/etc/config/adblock`
-* control the adblock service manually with `/etc/init.d/adblock` `start/stop/restart/reload/suspend/resume/status` or use the LuCI frontend
+### Installation of the core package
+* Install `adblock` (`opkg install adblock`)
+
+### LuCI adblock companion package
+* It is strongly recommended to use the LuCI frontend to easily configure all powerful aspects of adblock
+* Install `luci-app-adblock` (`opkg install luci-app-adblock`)
+* The application is located in LuCI under the `Services` menu
-## LuCI adblock companion package
-* it's strongly recommended to use the LuCI frontend to easily configure all powerful aspects of adblock
-* install `luci-app-adblock` (`opkg install luci-app-adblock`)
-* the application is located in LuCI under the `Services` menu
+### Configuration and controlling
+* At minimum configure the appropriate DNS backend (`dnsmasq` by default), the download utility and enable the adblock service in `/etc/config/adblock`
+* Control the adblock service manually with `/etc/init.d/adblock` `start/stop/restart/reload/suspend/resume/status` or use the LuCI frontend
-## Tweaks
-* **runtime information:** the adblock status is available via `/etc/init.d/adblock status` (see example below)
-* **debug logging:** for script debugging please set the config option `adb\_debug` to `1` and check the runtime output with `logread -e "adblock"`
-* **storage expansion:** to process and store all blocklist sources at once it might be helpful to enlarge your temp directory with a swap partition => see [OpenWrt Wiki](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/storage/fstab) for further details
-* **coreutils sort:** To speedup adblock processing in particular with many enabled blocklist sources it's recommended to install the additional package `coreutils-sort`
-* **add white- / blacklist entries:** add domain black- or whitelist entries to always-deny or -allow certain (sub) domains, by default both lists are empty and located in `/etc/adblock`. Please add one domain per line - ip addresses, wildcards & regex are _not_ allowed (see example below). You need to refresh your blocklists after changes to these static lists.
-* **download queue size:** for further download & list processing performance improvements you can raise the `adb\_maxqueue` value, e.g. `8` or `16` should be safe
-* **scheduled list updates:** for a scheduled call of the adblock service add an appropriate crontab entry (see example below)
-* **change startup behaviour:** by default the startup will be triggered by the `wan` procd interface trigger. Choose `none` to disable automatic startups, `timed` to use a classic timeout (default 30 sec.) or select another trigger interface
-* **suspend & resume adblocking:** to quickly switch the adblock service `on` or `off`, simply use `/etc/init.d/adblock [suspend|resume]`
-* **domain query:** to query the active blocklist for a certain domain, please use the LuCI frontend or run _/etc/init.d/adblock query `<DOMAIN>`_ (see example below)
-* **add new list sources:** you could add new blocklist sources on your own via uci config, all you need is a source url and an awk one-liner (see example below)

To add a really new source with different domain/host format you have to write a suitable awk one-liner on your own, so basic awk skills are needed. As a starting point check the already existing awk rulesets `adb_src_rset` in the config file, probably you need only small changes for your individual list. Download the desired list and test your new awk string locally. The output result should be a sequential list with one domain/host per line - nothing more. If your awk one-liner works quite well, add a new source section to the adblock config file and test the new source.
